Itinerary
Meet your Londoner and begin with an introduction to Royal London
Royal history, palace stories and one of the tour's main photo opportunities.
Discover another working royal residence and who's called it home.
Walk London's famous ceremonial avenue towards St James's.
Experience the colour and ceremony of the Royal Guard (Please note this takes place on particular times and days, so will be subject to times of booking and guard scedule.)
One of London’s oldest royal palaces and still a working royal residence today. Built by Henry VIII in the 1530s, it’s where royal proclamations are made and where kings and queens are officially announced. A powerful slice of living royal history tucked just behind Buckingham Palace.
London’s most beautiful royal park and a true oasis in the heart of the city. Wander past the lake with views of Buckingham Palace, spot pelicans that have lived here since the 1600s, and enjoy one of the finest skyline views in London stretching from Horse Guards to the London Eye. A proper London moment.
One of London’s grandest gateways and the ceremonial entrance to The Mall. Built in 1912, it links Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace and was designed as a monument to Queen Victoria. Walk beneath its towering arches and you’re literally stepping into royal London. A proper “wow” moment — and one of the city’s most underrated photo spots.
London’s historic central square, home to Nelson’s Column, iconic fountains and the National Gallery — always buzzing with life.
A vast ceremonial parade ground where you may spot the mounted guards outside the royal entrance.
The political heart of Britain, lined with government buildings, memorials and statues of historic leaders.
The official home of the UK Prime Minister — one of the most famous front doors in the world.
The unmistakable Gothic skyline of British democracy, sitting proudly on the River Thames.
The Iconic Famous Clock Tower
A 1,000-year-old royal church — the site of coronations, royal weddings and the resting place of Britain’s greatest figures.

We had a fantastic experience with Rich as our tour guide in London! We highly recommend exploring a new city with a guided tour, as it allows you to appreciate the place on a much deeper level. Rich was extremely knowledgeable and informative, and we learned so many interesting things about London's history, culture, and landmarks. What made the experience even more enjoyable was Rich's great sense of humour! He kept us entertained throughout the tour, created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and really brought our group together. We had a great time, learned a lot, and discovered London in a fun and engaging way. Having a guide like Rich truly makes a difference and adds so much value to your visit. We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting London. Thank you, Rich, for such a memorable experience!

We had a fantastic experience with Rich! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, easy to understand, and had a great sense of humour, which made the whole tour even more enjoyable. He knew all the best spots to show us London’s most iconic landmarks, including some hidden gems, while helping us avoid the crowds and make the most of our time. If you want to discover London in just two hours, this is definitely the perfect way to do it! Rich made the city come alive, and we couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you, Rich, for such a wonderful experience!
Rich is an incredible tour guide! He is exceptionally energetic, deeply knowledgeable, and keeps the tour thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. What me and my friend loved most is that he shares fascinating, lesser-known facts and takes you to hidden spots you’d never discover on your own. It was a genuinely fun experience that showed us sides of the city I had never seen before. He is amazing. A well-deserved 10/10 recommendation!
Amazing Tour! Rich was very knowledgeable and entertaining and the tour was enjoyed by our family with 3 kids. A perfect introduction to London and kids loved feeding the squirrels.
Charming, knoledgebale, funny and senstive! Rich took us on a 2hour journy through westminister, detailed when needed, concise and acurarte. Could not recommand more!
The tour was excellent. It was dinamic and intersting with great note of british humor. We have seen a lot and heard a lot about british history. :))
Rich was a really nice and welcoming tour guide. It was fun listen to him and his knowledge, stories with his own points of view. It made the whole tour authentic :D Looking forward doing another tour with him as a guid.
We are very thankful to Rich! It was a great experience.
Great tour!!! I would recomend it!
Great guide, super professional, reactive, engaged and fun. Perfect mix of knowledge sharing, fun facts, practical tips, and good time in the Westminster borough. Cherry on the cake: a real English guy you can actually understand, even not being an English native.
Well worth the money! You can’t go to London and miss a good walking tour! You will learn a lot more about history in a super fun and engaging way. Our tour guide, Richie, is funny and walked us through the Westminster and Buckingham with really great information that we would have never known if we didn’t join this tour. We were only a small group of 5 so the pace has been excellent! He even gave us recommendation of good places to eat. Highly recommend!
My family and I spend the morning with Rich and he was fabulous! He was engaging with the kids, made the tour personal with his experience growing up in London, and packed in all the highlights we wanted to see! We would highly recommend this tour!!!
This was one of the best tours we have ever taken!! Rich was not only funny and friendly, he was extremely knowledgeable regarding London and full of wonderful “fluff” information (I had a lot of questions about the royals). We only had one day in London, but we loved it and will be back… and we will, for sure, book another tour with Rich!!
Rich was a great guide! Funny, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations.
Excellent experience because Rich took us through the history of the places, monuments and landmarks and linked them with the current state of affairs.
Great experience with a great guide!
Rich was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and funny. We would highly recommend him.
Had such a good time on this London tour with a Londoner! Was fun and really easygoing. Rich was genuinely friendly and interactive, which made the experience feel much more personal and real instead of just scripted. Honestly just a really enjoyable way to explore London. Definitely recommend if you want a fun day out and to see the city properly.
We had a lovely time doing a walking tour with Rich. He was highly knowledgeable about this home town as well as british culture and history. We covered about 10 main spots in the historical center of London and Rich definitely contributed to satisfy our interest about this iconic city, sharing with us some fun facts and curiosities too. He also gave us some recommendations about local food places and must-do activities while still in London. I would definitely recommend this tour and can't wait to be back in London for a second round. Thank you Rich, until next time! 👋🏼🙏🏼
